According to the now-viral video, Jodi Sapp, the chairwoman of the Mankato school board, opened the conference on October 18 by telling parents they can't ask any questions unless they share their home addresses.
"Each speaker is asked to state his or her name and home address for the record. Failure to do so will result in an individual not being allowed to speak," Sapp read aloud.

"Each speaker is allowed three minutes to speak, and the board will alert the speaker when their time is up. Failure to stop speaking (in time) will result in the ability to participate in future open forums."
John Wicklund, a dad who at first declined to give his personal information before finally having to cave in, asked Sapp: "Do you consider us terrorists? Like a couple of members have said online."

"Seems like we are, especially with the opening statements."

The group had since apologized for the letter, though not before the Attorney General praised the message and called for the FBI to investigate such parents.
Wicklund voiced his objections yet ultimately provided his home address after trying to negate doing so by citing concerns that his home could be targeted for vandalism.
"My name is John Wicklund and I live in Mankato," he started.

"John, you need to give your address," she repeated.

"How many acts of violence (have occurred on school grounds)? How many sexual assaults have happened in this school district?"
"You can say the (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) are making you do this, but the government knows better."

Sapp did not answer the dad in the video, giving him a curt "thank you, that's the end of the open forum."
The open forum's policy change came after the school board's October 4 meeting. Several parents criticized the school district's mask mandate and vaccination policies, causing audience members to applaud the community speakers loudly.
In recent months, school board meetings nationwide have become the battleground for parents and district officials, with many parents using the board meetings to oppose the teaching of critical race theory and other controversial educational topics.
